Bio - Tom Carleno

Tom Carleno: Guitar

 It was at a family get together where Tom became inspired to play the guitar. His cousin, Paul Musso, was led about wearing sunglasses while pretending to be the blind guitarist/singer Jose Feliciano. The impersonation made such an impression on Tom that he decided that he wanted to be able make the same connection with people through music. The following week he asked Paul to teach him how to play the guitar.
Tom's intriguing compositional approach springs from his constant use of innovative tunings for his guitar. This technique enables him to use a unique harmonic vocabulary that gives Perpetual Motion its characteristic depth and color. His fingerstyle technique provides both harmony and melody to create a contrapuntal foundation for the rest of the band. He studied music at the University of Colorado at Denver and guitar and composition with Steve Mesple' of Wind Machine. Tom is an instructor in rock, jazz, acoustic fingerstyle, and composition.
